3 Day celebration… and continuing

Who says you cannot celebrate your Birthday 3 times?…or the whole month of June for that matter, ha,ha.

I started celebrating on the evening of the 8th, my last year being 38. Going girly style with two adorable new ladies, I met in Leamington Spa: Josefa & Natalia.

Haddie & Trilby is a tiny proper bakery, that has a queue on Thursdays because its pizza night in Town. The cosy atmosphere ( barely 3 tables) and the smell of the pizza in the huge oven, while you can see the owner making the pizzas in front of you, so relaxed, with no ordering required. He just cooks 3 or 4 types of pizzas, and as they are coming out of the oven, you take your pick, and go to pay or stay to enjoy the life music that was on, Thursday the 8th.

However, what was my surprise when he tells me they started to be famous for the baked cheesecake! that took off way before the pizza.

A quirky Japanese restaurant, out of the norm. Auradaze Japanese Deli You cannot go in and say: table for two? Got it wrong. You have to text, yes, text, not call, a week in advance at least to get a table, which probably just tells you that you are in for a treat.

Tiny space (only around 20 people fit in the restaurant) which makes it the more cosy. And the feeling is, as if you are going to have lunch or dinner at a friend’s house who is cooking fresh food in front of you so relaxed. You can actually see the passion in the chef’s face while cooking, and the childish exciting face, to check out your face when you are trying a dish in the tester surprise menu.

No webpage, no tripadvisor, no wifi, no mobile phones as they kindly ask you to not use while in the restaurant. ZEN ZONE they call it.

Out of respect, due to the phone policy, I only have the below pictures from another time we asked permission. And every time we go, we choose the taster menu, where its a surprise of dishes that is brought to you, and never disappointing us, all the contrary! a truly pleasure for the palate.
